The Rookie League have revealed that Jonny, their vocalist, has left the group on his terms. The group are currently looking for a replacement and will be auditioning in the near future. Read a statement from Sam and the band to find out all of the details and how to audition.

Some of you may already know about this and some of you are probably going to think this is ridiculous but it’s beyond our control. We have yet again lost another singer. All we can say is Jonny left on his own terms. But it’s not the end of the world nor is it the end of The Rookie League, Myself (Sam), Paddy, Shane and Adam have all been here from the beginning and we aren’t willing to stop any time soon We’ve decided rather than rush to find a new singer this time to take the opportunity to look for the best singer possible. Its better this happened now than later on as we are currently writing new material for our new EP and If everything goes to plan then hopefully it will be released this year. We’d like to thank our friend Adam W for filling in on vocals when we have needed him on such short notice. In the mean time our drummer Shane Lloyd will be filling in on vocals and our good friend Jordan Osborne will be filling in for him on drums. We are still playing all shows that are booked and are still taking bookings.

Currently we are looking for a vocalist. If you want to be our front man please see the requirements below and don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be in touch!
